A one-man exploration of Shakespeare’s villains directed by Simon Godwin.
BroadStage will present All the Devils Are Here, a one-man show created and performed by Patrick Page, running from January 15 through 25, 2026. Directed by Simon Godwin, the production will offer an examination of Shakespeare’s villains through a contemporary interpretive lens. Page’s performance reframes the Bard’s antagonists as layered and psychologically complex figures.
Early critical responses have described the work as a witty and accessible exploration of Shakespeare’s darker characters. “All of Shakespeare's villains brought to you in one night by one of the greatest actors on the planet, this is a perfect piece of theatre,” said Rob Bailis, Artistic and Executive Director of BroadStage. “The magic of this piece is how deftly Patrick Page weaves in and out of the characters while sharing with you the backstory of Shakespeare's creative process, which is equally thrilling.”
Celebrating its 17th year, BroadStage continues to present programming across theater, music, jazz, opera, and dance. All the Devils Are Here aligns with BroadStage’s mission to present work that broadens access to high-quality performance and supports a diverse community of artists.
All the Devils Are Here will run for 12 performances from January 15 through 25, 2026. Tickets start at $45.
